Coastal Windows & Exteriors Ranks as New England's Top Woman-Owned Remodeler on 2025 Qualified Remodeler List

Coastal Windows & Exteriors has been recognized on the 2025 Qualified Remodeler Top 500, ranking as New England's #1 woman-owned exterior remodeler and the only roofing company in the New England region to make the prestigious industry list. The family-owned company has climbed more than 200 positions in just four years, including a 42-spot jump since last year, to reach #191 nationally and #4 overall in New England.

This achievement carries significant implications for industry diversity and the viability of independent businesses in an increasingly consolidated market. While women hold only 13% of construction jobs nationwide according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data, far fewer lead exterior remodeling firms at Coastal's scale. Owner Stephanie Vanderbilt was named Massachusetts Small Business Person of the Year by the U.S. Small Business Administration, providing national recognition that underscores Coastal's strength as an independent business competing at the highest level against private equity firms and national franchises.

The company's market position is further validated by its 842+ verified Google A+ reviews with a 4.8-star rating, establishing Coastal as the region's most trusted remodeler. This consumer trust metric, combined with the Qualified Remodeler ranking, provides homeowners with tangible evidence of quality and reliability when selecting contractors for roofing, windows, doors and siding projects.

Industry partners have recognized Coastal's exceptional performance through multiple awards. The company received the James Hardie President's Club Award as the only contractor in New England and only woman in the U.S. to achieve this distinction. Coastal also maintains GAF Master Elite® Roofing Contractor status and has earned the Service Excellence Award, reflecting the company's commitment to quality installations and customer service.

"Being named to the Qualified Remodeler Top 500 is a tremendous honor," said Stephanie Vanderbilt, founder and owner of Coastal Windows & Exteriors. "Homeowners deserve transparency — they want to see reviews, photos, and proof of work before choosing a contractor. Our ranking, combined with our strong online presence and 842+ of 5-star reviews, shows customers exactly who we are and why they can trust us."

General Manager Tommy Ingram added that "climbing to #4 in New England on Qualified Remodeler's Top 500 is a proud moment for our team — it reflects the values we live every day. At Coastal, we believe in being our best when it matters most, communicating with honesty and transparency, and always putting people first."

Beyond business performance, Coastal has demonstrated substantial community commitment through initiatives including their Roof for Heroes Program providing free roofing systems for local veterans, $375,000+ donated to Habitat for Humanity supporting affordable housing projects across Massachusetts, and 3,000+ pounds of food donated to local pantries. The company is also an active member of National Women in Roofing, advancing diversity and inclusion in the industry.

Qualified Remodeler's Top 500 serves as the remodeling industry's longest-running benchmark, ranking firms nationwide on revenue, professionalism, and impact. Coastal's recognition reflects not only strong business growth but also its reputation for trust, quality, and community commitment, positioning the company as a leader in New England's competitive remodeling market.
